[ST] Re: Oil Link - Clutch casing gasket

["Chris Harwood" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't like the sound of '...Im not good doing jobs myself...'.  That
leaves a lot of room for error unless you're being modest.

My feeling is the main thing is to loosen and tighten the bolts
progressively so's you don't warp the cover.  Check that the mating
surfaces are nice and clean of old gasket before assembling.  Check the
bolt threads are clean, then don't over-tighten especially into alloy
(looks like 9Nm to me).

It would be worth examining the old gasket to see if your diagnosis is
born out before refilling.

Hi Paul
i did reply to you but maybe the cyber ghoul ate it!

Yes it does appear to be the Clutch cover but its not a seperate cover
as was on my daytona, its all one big cover!

Im waiting for the gasket to arrive and will then change it, anyone
with advice feel free to post. Im not good with doing jobs myself.
Guess i take the cover off, remove the gasket and stick the new one
on, tighten up, refill the oil and pray ; )

Since the oil is now completely drained by the looks of the shed
flooring, ive been running the old 94 Daytona 900. Since this has been
housed, a quick jump startwas all it needed and a reflate of the tyres
and its working well. As i cant sell this bike i really need to start
stripping it, maybe sandblast the rust off, respray some areas and
have it well greased. It will becoem a classic soon. SWMBO will just
have to live with it!
